The show must go on,
But I will not perform;
I refuse to smile and posture,
I cannot lie any longer!
I cannot put on the pretense of joy,
When I have felt it’s wonders;
I shall not hide behind a porcelain mask,
And cover my heart’s darkness
When it has known light;
I will not be made to laugh
At jokes unfunny,
When I know all too well true merriment;
I shall not bear the fallacy of indifference,
When the weight affects,
And is all too heavy to shoulder;
The band must play on,
But my swan song has long been over
The Show Must Go On
